Towing Roo 233s with Yukon xl? Feedback?

[tlemon]

We are considering a Roo 233 S but have reservations on successfully towing with our Yukon XL. Would love to hear from Roo owners that might be towing with a similar SUV and how it handles?

isn't a Yukon XL a "half ton" ?

All I know is they have 6 kids, so whatever burb it is will be suffering. The roo has small kitchen, and the U-dinette slide and couch/bench whatever you want to call that thing on the curb side will have to be beds. Half the family may fit some clothes for a 2 night weekend. The rest, along with everyone's shoes will be chucked outside.

Need more info about the tow vehicle - year, engine, tow pkg? Then it's just a matter of looking up the tow specs. Agree with the comment above that a weight distribution/sway control hitch is probably needed. Pretty common with most HTT setups except for maybe those pulling with a heavy duty truck.

Yukon XL Denali and regular Yukan xl are two different animals....There is a 3000lb tow difference between the two...

I don't think you will have a problem with your Suburban. I would make sure you have a Weight Distribution Hitch just to put some load back on the front tires.

We towed our 2010 Roo 233 with a 2006 Yukon XL Denali no problem. Drove it from Ontario to Florida twice, and it pulled like a dream with the WDH and sway control. With 5 passengers and all our cargo, the Yukon was pulling the 4000 lb dry weight plus 1000 lbs cargo with ease. Its tow capacity is around 8000 pounds so there's plenty to play with. Mind you, we were pulling it locally for a few months with a Toyota Sienna (4000 lb tow capacity) so with the power of the Yukon it was no comparison. We've since changed our vehicle but I thought it was the perfect combination until now.

Well you can tow 5100 lbs. Tongue is about 650. Roo weight 4300..

You will be at max IMO..and probably over if you load the yukon with passangers...

Your best way to figure what you can tow is weight the yukon empty. Then weight the yukon with all passengers and full fuel and cargo..

Post back with those #'s and the axle rating on the door jam.. That will give you an idea of what you can really tow...

But in reality your GCVW rating is 11k. Yukon 7200 plus 4300 empty roo = 11500 lbs..

Your over...

As they say in NJ... forgetaboutit!!!!

Just my opinion...
